Robot GUIDE Automatic Setup

The Robot GUIDE automated setup process allows you to create backup classes and sets for performing your daily and weekly backups. You can back up libraries, security data, user profiles, configuration data, documents, the IFS, and Domino databases; and the entire system.

The Robot GUIDE Automatic Setup panel displays at the end of the installation process. Prior to displaying the Robot GUIDE Automatic Setup panel, the automatic setup process does the following:

  • Defines the save devices on your system to Robot Save

  • Creates the save media types for each defined save device

  • Loads a list of the libraries on the system

  • Creates a list of Domino servers on the system

You can select from two automatic setup options or exit Robot GUIDE and perform the setup at a later time.

On the Robot GUIDE Automatic Setup panel, press F4 to select the default save device to be used for your backups. When the Save Device Finder panel displays, enter a 1 to select from a list of devices that were defined to Robot Save. Press Enter to display the Save Media Finder panel.

Note: You must specify a default save device to run Robot GUIDE.

The Save Media Finder panel displays a list of save media types that are supported for the save device you selected. Enter a 1 to select a media type and press Enter to return to the Robot GUIDE Automatic Setup panel.

Note: You must specify a save media type to run Robot GUIDE.

You can specify if you want to allow tapes to be initialized from a command line using the INZTAP CHECK(*NO) VOL(*MOUNTED) command. The default value is N (No) to protect tapes from being overwritten accidentally.

Warning: Changing this field to Y (Yes) will allow Robot Save media to be initialized from a command line. You should keep this in mind when deciding whether or not to change this value. See the Media Defaults section of the Robot Save User Guide for more information on protecting media from being overwritten.

Select an automatic setup option from the following:

  1. I want Robot Save to create the recommended setup

    Select this option if you want Robot Save to create a backup strategy based on IBM recommendations.

  2. I want to fill out a grid based on my current strategy

    Select this option if you currently have a backup strategy and want to duplicate it using Robot Save. You will be asked to complete a grid specifying how you want your system backed up.

  3. I do not want to do setup right now

    Select this option if you want to run Robot GUIDE automatic setup at a later time. To return to the Robot GUIDE Automatic Setup panel, enter the following command on a command line:
